 Rating:  - Save energy & moneyI bought two Smart Strips and had a problem with one of them because of the device I had plugged into the control outlet. Support people are great, took a week or so to figure out what was happening but they did and are going to send me a new unit which corrects the problem. Rating:  - Mac Mini, Laptop Users and Smart Strips Note to Mac Mini users Notice from the bitsltd website: All Mac Mini and Dell 800 Series Laptop Owners! Please order only 3rd Generation Smart Strip Models as Mac Mini and Dell 800 series laptops tend to have very irregular power consumption traits that are incompatible with our standard Smart Strips. What can I use the Smart strip on? The Smart strip can be used to save energy on Computers, TVs, & Home entertainment systems. they ...

Rating: - Simple, easy to use, saves moneyWith my Kill-A-Watt, I discovered that my computer speakers use 15W even when they're not being used. I now have my monitor and speakers plugged into the Smart Strip, and have confirmed (with the Kill-A-Watt) that I'm saving some energy, and the Smart Strip will pay for itself in 7 months. Also note that there are lots of models of Smart Strips. The "L" models are large (10); the "S" models are small (7).
